STAYING CLEAN

Sometimes days can get you down,

        Taking its toll upon the ground.

        As you try to stay clean,

        Yes that’s right from drugs I mean.

        In this life of sacrifice,

        Now saying no is really nice.

        Giving you a chance, as you fight,

 

        Cleaning up your act isn't that right.

        Letting your words take control,

        Enhancing your spirit, body and soul.

        As you go fourth, with Gods faith,

        Now understanding your life he saved

As you walk by

As you walk by

Looking at the sky

Remember me

And ask yourself why

As I smoke my fag

In my sleeping bag

Remember me

As I take a drag

As I sleep on the street

Writing words unique

Remember me

I must repeat

As I drink my beer

To improve my career

Remember me

Do you hear

As I ask for money

Oh yes honey

Remember me

Isn't it funny

With no I.D.

Or benefits you see

Remember me

And my words for free

As I do what I do

Like a busker too

Remember me

And I'll remember you

As I hear what you say

In a sad way

Remember me

I'll be famous one day

As I won't quit

No not a bit

So remember me

Where I sit

In a doorway

In Brighton today

Remember me

In a crazy way

With no local connection

What a reaction

Remember me 

With satisfaction

As you walk by

Looking at the sky

Remember me

And ask yourself why?

Addictions

Smoking old dog ends, dimps or butts,

Eating bad food and having bad guts.

While drinking the beer that someone has left,

Then turning to crime or some kind of theft.

As you take heroin and crack cocaine,

To take away the cold that’s driving you insane.

While begging up money, oh what a sin,

Because of addictions that’s started within.

In this life that’s absolute hell,

Even though others, think we is well.

Then going cold turkey with aches and pains,

Oh God no, please not again.
